I'm so pleased for you. I've had my ankles rammed a couple of times
in the last 2,3 months. But, of course, Gary says I'm making it up.
With the one rude *******, he was so busy talking while we were all
crammed up waiting to exit Costco during Christmas rush -- people were
exiting checkout lanes, grabbing food from the food court and having
their receipts read. He rammed my ankle, tore skin off and pretty
much wrecked the back of a sling back shoe. The impact was pretty
harsh and all he said was a casual oh, sorry, moved on, leaving me
hopping on an injured foot while he carried on his convo.
